get_arrangement_clips

Read-only

Lists all clips placed on a track's Arrangement timeline, returning each clip's name, start and end times, length, and type for inspection.

Instructions

List all clips placed in the Arrangement timeline for a track.

Returns each clip's name, start_time, end_time, length, and type.

Parameters:

  • track_index: The index of the track to inspect

  • user_prompt: The original user prompt that led to this tool call (for telemetry)

Tool call template

Replace each placeholder with a value matching the input schema. Only required parameters are included; add optional parameters as needed.

TDQS

A3.5/5.0
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds the returned field list, but that overlaps with the existing output schema and it says nothing about ordering, empty results, or what happens with an out-of-range track_index.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loaded purpose sentence, one line on return values, then a compact parameter list. No filler and no repetition; every line carries information an agent needs.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With annotations and an output schema already present, the description only needs to cover purpose and parameter meaning, which it does. The gaps are edge-case behavior (invalid index, ordering, empty track) rather than core invocation information.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description carries the burden and does document both parameters: track_index as the track to inspect and user_prompt as telemetry-only. It stops short of stating indexing base (0- vs 1-based) or that user_prompt is optional, which is the main remaining ambiguity.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states a specific verb and resource with scope: 'List all clips placed in the Arrangement timeline for a track.' The Arrangement-timeline scoping distinguishes it from session-view clip tools like get_clip_notes or fire_clip, though it never names those siblings explicitly.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

There is no when-to-use guidance, no prerequisites, and no mention of alternatives (e.g., get_clip_notes for MIDI content, get_track_info for track metadata). The agent must infer the use case from the name and first sentence alone.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
